Grizzly Attacks, Injure 4 In Yellowstone Park

Yellowstone National Park, WY-- A couple of run-ins with bears in and near Yellowstone National Park have left four people injured.

The National Park Service says a grizzly bear charged a group of hikers in Yellowstone, leaving one person with bite and claw marks and another with injuries that were treated at the scene. The hikers had come across a young grizzly Thursday just before noon when a sow charged.

Roughly 70 miles away, near Island Park, Idaho, two Bureau of Land Management contract workers were bitten by a grizzly bear Thursday. At least one of the men required stitches in wounds on his thigh and buttocks. The other man suffered minor bite wounds on his hand.
